We’ve heard about several “poor students” in the past year. Cui Qingtao, a student from Yunnan, working with his parents on a building site when he got an admission letter(录取通知书) from Peking University. 46 She is a student form Hebei. She was doing her part-time job in a different city when her family got her admission letter from Peking University.

47 For example, they are all strong and optimistic (乐观的). Li Enhuisaid in an interview,

“As long as we are alive, there are no problems that cannot be solved, and many people don’t have my experiences. 48 ” Such an idea makes many adults feel embarrassed. He refused to accept donation money and decided to make money by himself. This is also the common thing that “poor students” have.

Whatever kind of values you hold, such personalities( 品格) are necessary for growth. 49 Not everything goes well all the time. Only being strong and optimistic, can one go through difficulties. In fact, living in poor families doesn’t promise such good personalities, and living in happiness doesn’t promise optimistic attitudes(态度). We like such “poor students” because they are strong and optimistic.

For them, few can choose their lifestyles. 50 That’s why they are highly praised. Every one of us should learn from them.

The erhu sounded so sad that I almost cried along with it as I listened. Later I looked up the history of Erquan Yingyue, and I began to understand the sadness in the music.

The music was ___54___ by Abing. A folk musician who was born in the city of Wuxi in 1893. His mother died when he was very young.
